Time
to kick off the Writer to Writer Challenge !

The Writer to Writer Challenge is a writing
contest open to all adult learners of SCLLN
member programs. Adult learners read or listen to a
book, then write a 500-word (or less) letter to the author, whether living or
dead, to describe how the book has influenced their life.

Encourage your learners to listen to an
audio-book, or read a book, any book, with their tutor. When they find one that
changed the way they think about life, encourage them to write a letter to the
author of the book. The letter is just a friendly note to an author, living or
dead, describing the impact the book had on their life. The letter can be short
or long, but it must be under 500 words. The learners can write about a
book they have read or an audio-book they have listened to.

The book read and the letter written must be in
English.

Letters must be received in Carlsbad on
or before Thursday December 3, 2015.

Winners are selected in 4 groups:
Emerging group :: dictate a letter to tutor or staff
Beginning group :: write a basic, simple letter independently
Intermediate group :: write a more complex letter with larger vocabulary
Advanced group :: write independently with little support from tutor or staff
